Matt Hardy on John Laurinaitis
Matt Hardy is aware of the difficult job John has, and that it is not easy to give bad news to others.
He had to do the 'dirty work' Hardy is happy with him now though and there is no 'bad blood' between them. “He was ultimately the bad guy for Vince Mcmahon. Vince McMahon doesn’t need to give people the bad news… That’s John Laurinaitis’ job.
So that’s a tough job. It’s a very thankless job in many ways, too. So at the end of the day, I’ve had my issues with John Laurinaitis, but I’m okay with John Lauriniatis now, and I’m fine with him. I have respect for him”.
